8.8 Cultivation in pots: Cultivation Plant each pot with one, three, five or six/seven bulbs. The pot sizes must be 10, 12 and 15 cm respectively. When planting more than one bulb per pot, plant the bulbs with the flat sides facing towards the side of the pot. The bottom leaf of the plant will then fold across the rim of the pot, leaving the flower to emerge in the centre. The remainder of production in pots is identical to forcing in trays. For an attractive article, use nice-looking pots, which are cleaned before delivery and supplied with a photo label and sleeve, possibly with text and an illustration.
